Hey, I'd love to have reps from all the carriers here answering posts and telling their own stories. How many threads do we have of just rumors? The only thing is, if someone identifies himself or herself as a representative of a carrier as BJ DeHut does, TC should somehow be able to verify it, or remove the posts.

He doesn't answer questions. If you google bjatsprint or his name he appears on boards and threads of people with problems and spins cheery generalities. It is a faked response to Sprints serious problems with customers service (dead last with JD powers for a long time)

Well, I can tell you this...I don't have anything to do with Sprint other than being a customer, and from personal experience I can tell you that their customer service is 2nd to none for at least the last six months. I'll admit it was pretty bad before that but I think the JD powers survey made a big impact on them.

With no official announcement of the Sprint Treo Pro as of this posting ("leaks" notwithstanding), who else thinks that there is no Treo Pro coming to Sprint? I'm (wishfully) thinking that the Pre is being released on the 25th of this month, not the TP.

it is a refresh of an existing product the GSM Pro. These are generally not big deals at CES, very often never done at CES. Plus Palm wanted to splash the Palm Pre. Official announcement by Sprint almost always occur only only very very close to release date (a couple of days). Of course no one knows for sure!

Funny, I was at the Sprint store today. They had just received a flyer on the Pre but nothing on the Pro. I said to myself, "Hmmmm! That's strange!"

So you could be right! It could be a front for the Pre. I had no idea that the Pre was coming out.

I never liked those flip gizmo phones anyway. One more thing to break. Palm has been trying to capture the younger market for some time now. The Centro was their first effort to do so.

The date for the Pro is slated for around the 25th. No stores would have flyers for that this early. I think the stores get notice only days or a week before release of most phones and are not given a date until 24 or 48 hours earlier.

Well why the HELL won't Sprint acknowledge the Pro then?????? If you call support or even the business line, they acknowledge the Pre but they don't have a freaking clue what the Pro is at all. They even tell me that the Pre will be released in a few months. They have no knowledge of a "Pro"............

This freaking CDMA version of the Pro is not even a virtual reality as far as Sprint is concerned.

Looks like Photoshop to me! LOL.This freaking CDMA version of the Pro is not even a virtual reality as far as Sprint is concerned.

I don't know, I had my wife who works with photoshop and teaches it occasionally, zoom in on the two instances of Sprint and she said the pixilization and colors were perfectly consistent with the rest of the text and background. so if it had been photoshopped it was very very good. The margins on the screen could be suspect but look genuine.

There is also the presence of the beta id number on the top right which is not photoshopped in either, although it that alone could be from a gsm pro beta test model.

So congratulation to those waiting for a Sprint Treo pro or to a photoshoper with extraordinary talent!

How long have you been with Sprint?

You surprised at what what they have done for the release of like 100 phones is also being done with the Treo Pro?!
they don't acknowledge a thing until nearly the day of release. You can squeze it out of a store tech or manager maybe one week ahead., before that they have no idea.

They made an exception on the Pre -- and in that tone case copied Apples exact script for iphone's announcement several months ahead of release.

The 800w was announced by sprint 24 hours after sales started.

Furthermore there has never been a more important reason to hold off on any announcement and to keep it in the dark then with the CDMA Treo Pro. They wont be able to sell the 800w back stock to anyone.

I was just joking about the Photoshop thing. I was joking about it being Photoshop because no one at Sprint would acknowledge the Pro at all. I was just joking.
